unable to copy files

Question

Hi All

i have two VMs in azure, one is Windows Server 2022 and other is Windows Server 2019. i login to the terminal server and connect to these VMS. from the terminal server i am able to copy the files to Windows 2019 server but i am unable to copy files on Windows 2022 server. from network path it works fine, but copy & paste doesn't work from terminal server to Windows Server 2022. Both VMs are in same vlan, same OU, polices are same. is there any local gpo blocking this copy and paste please guide me.

Hello Glenn,

Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

Because the policies and settings appear to be consistent between the two VMs and you're experiencing the issue only with Windows Server 2022, it's possible that there might be a specific configuration or policy affecting the copy and paste functionality on that VM. You can try these steps to troubleshoot:

1. Review the local group policies on the Windows Server 2022 VM. Look for any policies related to clipboard redirection or file transfer.
2. Check the firewall settings on the Windows Server 2022 VM. Sometimes, certain rules might be blocking file transfers through copy and paste.
3. Verify the Remote Desktop settings on both VMs. There might be a setting on the Windows Server 2022 VM that's preventing clipboard sharing or file transfer.
4. When connecting from the terminal server, ensure that you have selected the option to share local resources, including the clipboard, with the remote session.
5. Ensure that both VMs have the latest updates installed.
